Surf in Durban

The Surf HQ is South Africa's #1 Hardcore Boarding Head Quarters situated on Durban's Beachfront.

A collection of videos from across the globe to get you amped for your next session. Some seven months ago South Africa’s golden child, Jared Houston went under the knife for a total shoulder reconstruction. Effectively ruining any remaining hope of finishing high in last years APB ratings Jared Houston appeared somewhat unfazed. After one view of his latest edit, it’s clear that Beschen’s fulfilled that promise, and then some. Take a trip down to the Transkei with Ricky, Emma and Avuyile to discover some wild waves in one of SA’s most remote areas. So when you need a new board, want to upgrade your gear, run out of wax, snapped a leash, need advice, lost a fin, ripped your board-shorts or simply want a surf report for Durban, Surf HQ Surf shop is the place to go. The F8 Alpha is a large size Balanced fin with a Ride Number of 6.5. All Alpha products are designed and manufactured exclusively in Huntington Beach, Ca USA. Using Ride Number is easy, you just have to understand the feelings of Speed Generating and Speed Control. On one end of the Ride Number scale is Speed Generating fins. These fins feel responsive and provide that extra spring most often wanted when the surf is lacking power. These fins feel solid, engaged, and predictable providing that extra hold usually only needed when the surf is cranking. The middle ground is Balanced, offering a mix of the two extremes for an all around feel. Take a step away from what’s normal and come and hang out in the Modom pool. The boys were sick of the same old stuff being put out year-after-year in the accessories space, with no major thought about innovation or style. They wanted technical gear that looked good, pushed the envelope in terms of function, and had fresh design appeal. Feeling like there was a big gap in this space, Jack drew up some initial tail pad designs and gave them to Pauly, who had a long history in product sourcing and development. With some quality samples the next step was bringing in an experienced designer to make sure things were looking on point. Designer Xavier Davies joined the team and the trifecta to get things happening was complete. The Modom family continues to grow, working to create more designs to help you have fun in the surf.
